To celebrate Barbara's sixtieth birthday the family,with Doreen,head off for a country cottage for the weekend,only to find it double-booked and somebody else in residence. At Martin's suggestion they decide to go to a nearby hotel but the van breaks down in the dark in the middle of nowhere. Ted and Martin go for help but,after Martin has fallen into a ditch,get robbed by Bazza and Oz,two locals with whom they hitched a lift. If only Doreen had remembered to tell everybody that she had her mobile phone in her bag all the time.
